Notable: Congressman Challenges Pro-Immigration Bishop on Vatican Wall

Congressman Challenges Pro-Immigration Bishop on Vatican Wall

WASHINGTON (ChurchMilitant.com) - A GOP lawmaker is challenging a Texas bishop on the apparent contradiction between the bishop's criticism of the border wall and the existence of the Vatican wall.

During a House subcommittee hearing on Tuesday, Rep. Clay Higgins (R-La.) referenced the Vatican wall when asking Bp. Mark J. Seitz if the churches in his diocese lock the doors after hours.

"Regarding the sovereignty of the Church and as it relates and compares with the sovereignty of our nation, the Church has been a light for the world for 2,000 years — a place of refuge, a place where a child of God could seek spiritual prosperity," said Higgins, ranking member of the House Homeland Security Subcommittee on Border Security, Facilitation and Operations.

I would ask you, Bishop, in the area that you serve, do your churches lock their doors after hours?

"But the sovereignty of the Church has been protected by the security of the Church," he said. "One of the most famous walls in history is the wall around the Vatican. I would ask you, Bishop, in the area that you serve, do your churches lock their doors after hours?"

"Many of them do," Bp. Seitz answered. "I would point out that that wall you refer to at the Vatican also has arms embracing and opening to the world."

"As we do," interrupted Higgins. "We have 328 ports of entry — legal entry — into our country, into the United States of America."

personal note: hardest place to pray is in a Catholic Church..(sadly kek) …it used to be encouraged that you arrive 15 minutes before mass starts to prepare yourself and stay in thanksgiving for at least 15 minutes. Ever since it was introduced for a priest to greet congregants at the back of the church after mass hardly anyone stays. Lights are quickly turned off and folks practically are escorted out with the refrain "we have to lock up the church now". If you do manage to stay, fellow parishioners will stand right next to you and hold a conversation completely oblivious to anyone praying…it is rare that a church is open during the day…

Notable: Microsoft rolls out new cloud services for AI and blockchain

Microsoft rolls out new cloud services for AI and blockchain

(Reuters) – Microsoft Corp on Thursday announced new tools for software makers aimed at making technologies such as artificial intelligence and blockchain easier for businesses to use.

Microsoft released the tools ahead of its software developer conference next week in Seattle. Once known mostly for its Windows personal computer operating system, the company now relies on revenue growth from its cloud-based computing and software services, most of which are sold to other businesses.

While Microsoft still trails the cloud computing leader Amazon.com Inc’s Amazon Web Services in revenue, it has taken a different approach to the market, designing many of its services to be run in either Microsoft’s Azure data centers, its customers private data centers, or a combination of the two.

Amazon, by contrast, at first asked customers move their data to its own servers, though it too has in recent years moved toward Microsoft’s “hybrid” approach.

One new service from Microsoft helps online retailers recommend products based on shopping history and can be combined with a retailer’s existing recommendation engine, said Scott Guthrie, Microsoft’s cloud and artificial intelligence chief.

“They’re using ours in addition to the existing system they had and seeing some tremendous wins in terms of productivity as part of it,” Guthrie said. “I don’t think it’s going to be necessarily always a winner takes all.”

Microsoft is also releasing tools to let users make artificial intelligence models without having to write the underlying code. Those models can then be “trained” using the business owner’s data in Microsoft’s cloud.

The company is also introducing a cloud-based blockchain service. The block chain, a ledger for keeping track of transactions among many participants, is used in the financial technology space, and Microsoft said it is working with JP Morgan Chase & Co on the bank’s Quorum offering.

But Microsoft’s Guthrie said blockchain has other uses, such as the system Microsoft helped Starbucks Corp build to track the coffee as it moves from farms to stores to a customer’s cup.

“That enables them, from a quality control perspective, to dramatically improve the end-to-end supply chain and deliver a better product,” Guthrie said.

Microsoft also said it is releasing a developer edition of its HoloLens 2 headset that was announced earlier this year. The device, which overlays digital information on the real world, will cost $3,500 and is aimed businesses uses like safety training and complex repair work.

Would-be NYC subway bomber gets 10 years in foiled al-Qaida plot, faces release for time served

NEW YORK - A man who plotted to bomb New York City’s subways, then switched sides after his arrest and spent nearly a decade helping the U.S. identify and prosecute terrorists, was rewarded for his help Thursday with a sentence of 10 years in prison, effectively time he has already served.

Najibullah Zazi, a 33-year-old naturalized U.S. citizen who became radicalized and received explosives training from al-Qaida after traveling to Pakistan in 2008, faced up to life in prison after pleading guilty to terrorism-related charges.

The subway plot sent shockwaves through New York and the federal law enforcement community, underscoring the continuing threat of terrorism years after 9/11. But federal prosecutors said Zazi, after his 2009 arrest, provided “extraordinary” assistance to U.S. counterterrorism authorities, implicating his closest friends and offering a window into the inner-workings of al-Qaida.

U.S. District Raymond J. Dearie described Zazi’s cooperation as “unprecedented,” referring in part to federal investigations that remain ongoing. Details of those cases were blacked out of a court filing that prosecutors made public this week in light of concerns for national security.

“I have no doubt you saved a life,” Dearie said, adding he believed Zazi had undergone a compelling transformation during his years in custody. “Your obvious intelligence served you well.”

Zazi apologized and asked for forgiveness. He said he is not the same person he was more than a decade ago, when he became radicalized in part by listening to sermons by Anwar al-Awlaki, the al-Qaida propagandist.

“I’m sorry for all the harm I have caused,” Zazi said, referring to the subway plot as a “horrific mistake.”

Zazi will remain on supervised release— federal probation— for the rest of his life. The sentence also requires he continue to cooperate with federal authorities.

The 10-year sentence means Zazi could be released from prison “within days,” said his defense attorney, William J. Stampur. Zazi has been in custody for nearly a decade.

“Justice was definitely served,” Stampur said. “He has unequivocally disavowed radical Islam— in no uncertain terms.”

Stampur declined comment on where Zazi plans to live after his release.

Zazi spent his teenage years and young adulthood living in Queens. Al-Qaida recruited him and two of his best friends to carry out a “martyrdom operation” on U.S. soil after the three traveled to Pakistan in 2008.

The mission called for rush-hour suicide bombings on packed subway lines, timed to occur during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan and the eighth anniversary of the Sept. 11 terror attacks. The plot, foiled by federal authorities, represented “one of the most serious terrorist threats to our nation” since 9/11, then-Attorney General Eric Holder said.

Federal sentencing guidelines called for Zazi to spend the rest of his life behind bars after his 2010 guilty plea. But prosecutors credited Zazi for cooperation that included implicating his co-conspirators in the subway plot and providing “critical intelligence and unique insight regarding al-Qaida and its members.”

Zazi’s cooperation included meeting with the government “more than 100 times, viewing hundreds of photographs and providing information that assisted law enforcement officials in a number of different investigations,” prosecutors said in a court filing.

Stefan Halper’s ‘Assistant’ In Papadopoulos Spy Operation Has Been Outed

A woman who met alongside Stefan Halper in September 2016 with Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos has been identified in a press report as an FBI investigator.

Azra Turk, an alias for the investigator, was tasked by the FBI to accompany Halper during his meetings in London with Papadopoulos.

Halper also made contact during the campaign with Trump aides Carter Page and Sam Clovis.

A woman who posed as an assistant to former Cambridge professor Stefan Halper has been identified as an FBI investigator who worked on an intelligence-gathering operation against George Papadopoulos, the former Trump campaign adviser.

The New York Times reports that the woman, who used the alias Azra Turk, was tasked by the FBI to work alongside Halper during a series of meetings with Papadopoulos in London in September 2016.

The operation, which The Times says yielded little information from Papadopoulos, adds a new wrinkle to “Spygate,” the term that President Donald Trump began using after it was reported in May 2018 that Halper was a longtime CIA and FBI informant.

Democrats and some pundits have defended the FBI against the “Spygate” term, which they consider a pejorative. Attorney General William Barr told Congress on April 9 that he believes government agencies spied on the Trump team. He said he has formed a task force to investigate whether the surveillance was authorized.

The Daily Caller News Foundation first reported on March 25, 2018 that Halper had contact during the campaign with three Trump aides: Papadopoulos, Carter Page, and Sam Clovis. Halper and Page first met on July 11, 2016 at a political event held at Cambridge, where Halper served as a director for an intelligence seminar. The pair remained in contact through September 2017, meeting on occasion in the Washington, D.C., area.

Halper reached out to Papadopoulos out of the clear blue on Sept. 2, 2016, offering the young Trump adviser $3,000 and a trip to London to discuss writing an academic paper on Mediterranean Sea energy issues.

Prayer to the Heavenly Father for His Provision

"Heavenly Father, Eternal Now, Creator of the Universe, Splendor of

Heaven, listen with compassion to Your children who cry out to You.

Pour out upon the earth Your Provision, Your Mercy, Your Love.

With the winnowing fan of Your Divine Will, separate good from evil."

Prayer for Recognition of God’s Dominion

God the Father, Lord over all hearts, Your Dominion is from age to age. We pray that Your Dominion is recognized and revered by mankind and made a part of any peace plan to insure any peace plan is effective and long-lasting.

We dedicate our prayers today in recognition of Your Dominion over mankind so that the Truth and the peace of the world is consecrated Your Own Paternal Heart.

Notable: Big Puzzle Pieces Connecting – The CIA, FBI, and 2016 Political Surveillance is Merging…

Sundance at CTH is on a roll:

So there was a secret agreement between the CIA and the FBI that was kept hidden from the FISA court until 2016 when Director Mike Rogers exposed and reported it.

The agreement centered around “access to FBI systems“; and, THIS IS IMPORTANT, we know the overarching issue was “deliberate decisionmaking” that led to “contractor access to the NSA database”, and the fact those contractors were searching “U.S. persons”.

Can you see the process now?

Can you see the potentially layered illegality of the process now?

CIA operatives (contractors) were using FBI portal access (per the secret agreement) to exploit the NSA database and extract search results. Remember, the CIA is not supposed to be conducting surveillance, aka “spying”, inside the U.S. on American citizens.

In essence the secret agreement, unknown to the court, was the CIA hiding their extraction of U.S. person information by using FBI database access. [Through the DOJ-NSD (National Security Division)] Now does it make sense why the DOJ would not allow Inspector General oversight?

Ukrainian embassy confirms DNC contractor solicited Trump dirt in 2016

BY JOHN SOLOMON

The boomerang from the Democratic Party’s failed attempt to connect Donald Trump to Russia’s 2016 election meddling is picking up speed, and its flight path crosses right through Moscow’s pesky neighbor, Ukraine. That is where there is growing evidence a foreign power was asked, and in some cases tried, to help Hillary Clinton.

In its most detailed account yet, Ukraine’s embassy in Washington says a Democratic National Committee insider during the 2016 election solicited dirt on Donald Trump’s campaign chairman and even tried to enlist the country's president to help.

In written answers to questions, Ambassador Valeriy Chaly's office says DNC contractor Alexandra Chalupa sought information from the Ukrainian government on Paul Manafort’s dealings inside the country, in hopes of forcing the issue before Congress…………..

House Dems in direct talks with Mueller== ==about his testimony: reports

Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team is in direct talks with the House Judiciary Committee about whether he will testify before Congress, according to multiple reports.

NBC News and ABC News reported that the committee is now speaking with Mueller's team when it was previously dealing with the Justice Department. NBC reports that a hearing has not been finalized and a date was not set.

The Hill has reached out to the Judiciary Committee and the special counsel's office for comment.

William Barr on Wednesday testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee and was scheduled to reappear Thursday, but cancelled his Thursday testimony after he was grilled by Democratic lawmakers on a host of issues related to the Mueller Report.

Democrats on the Senate committee Wednesday also released a letter that Mueller wrote to Barr following Barr's March letter to Congress detailing his views of the Mueller report's principal conclusion.

Mueller in the March 27 letter slammed Barr's memo, saying that it created "public confusion about critical aspects of the results."

Democrats have long called for Mueller to testify on his probe.

Notable: pb Ron Paul on how the Iraq War got started by the DS

BASED - RON PAUL - ON how the iraq war got started by the DS - this stunning info never made the news - ever

[Congressional Record: January 26, 2011 (House)]

[Page H503]

The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under a previous order of the House, the

gentleman from Texas (Mr. Paul) is recognized for 5 minutes.

Mr. PAUL. Mr. Speaker, how did the 20-year war get started? It had

been long assumed that the United States Government, shortly before

Iraq invaded Kuwait in August of 1990, gave Saddam Hussein a green

light to attack. A State Department cable recently published by

WikiLeaks confirmed that U.S. Ambassador April Glaspie did indeed have

a conversation with Saddam Hussein one week prior to Iraq's August 1,

1990, invasion of Kuwait. Amazingly, the released cable was entitled,

``Saddam's Message of Friendship to President Bush.'' In it, Ambassador

Glaspie affirmed to Saddam that ``the President had instructed her to

broaden and deepen our relations with Iraq.'' As Saddam Hussein

outlined Iraq's ongoing border dispute with Kuwait, Ambassador Glaspie

was quite clear that, ``we took no position on these Arab affairs.''

There would have been no reason for Saddam Hussein not to take this

assurance at face value. The U.S. was quite supportive of his invasion

and war of aggression against Iran in the 1980s. With this approval

from the U.S. Government, it wasn't surprising that the invasion

occurred. The shock and surprise was how quickly the tables were turned

and our friend, Saddam Hussein, all of a sudden became Hitler

personified.

The document was classified, supposedly to protect national security,

yet this information in no way jeopardized our security. Instead, it

served to keep the truth from the American people about an event

leading up to our initial military involvement in Iraq and the region

that continues to today.

DS then took further action vs Bush loyalists Weinberger et al with Special Counsel appt. and prosecution - actions which assured that BC beat GHWB in the next election - then GUESS WHO freed them from the witch hunt? YUP - US Attorney General William Barr who told Bush to pardon them all—and after which Barr shut down Walsh’s fake investigation entirely.

This is the key to why Monsanto was doing (and still is doing) what it was doing regarding it's GMO crops and all of it's Patents. Listen to this guy, Percy Schmeiser. He is a farmer from Canada that was sued by Monsanto because some of their seed germinated on his property by accident, in other words he did not plant them there. But because he did not rip out his entire crop for the next three years (which is what he would have had to do) and suffer all the losses, they sued him. Even though they won the case, luckily for him, the court did not fine him.

But, listen to what he says here, this is the key to Monsanto's plan:

(Starts at 1:00:15 in the video linked below, "Seeds of Death: Unveiling The Lies of GMO's")

"If Monsanto's patent on a gene, if that patent on the gene gets into any, and I'll use the term 'higher life form', so what does that mean - birds, bees, animals - and the question I have to ask is what about human life?

If Monsanto's patent gene gets into you, gets into me, does that say they own me, do they own you?

These are all questions that our courts and our governments will have to address. How far does the patents on genes on life go?

Dear God!!! What were we saved from?

Notable: NASA: Fraudulent supplier faked test data that caused the loss of rockets/satellites.

https://gizmodo.com/nasa-says-fraudulent-supplier-caused-it-to-lose-two-cli-1834464044/amp

NASA has found its loss of two 92-foot Taurus rockets—as well as the climate-monitoring satellites they were carrying—in 2009 and 2011 was due to a supplier that falsified test data about frangible joints that were supposed to split and release the rockets’ fairings, according to Quartz.

According to a NASA Launch Services Program (LSP) report released on April 30, agency engineers have determined that Oregon aluminum extrusion manufacturer Sapa Profiles, Inc. (ISP) had doctored failed test results, swapped out measurements from acceptably-made batches, or altered the conditions of testing to ensure a favorable result. They then shipped out the poorly-made parts to clients, one of which was Orbital Sciences (now Orbital ATK), the manufacturer of Taurus rockets. As a result, NASA determined, the clamshell-style nosecones of the rockets carrying the Orbiting Carbon Observatory and Glory satellites failed to fall off on command due to SPI’s faulty frangible joints surviving explosive charges.

Both Taurus rockets then plummeted to their doom in the ocean, with NASA LSP writing in their report that the “combined cost of both mission failures was in excess of $700,000,000.”

“NASA relies on the integrity of our industry throughout the supply chain,” NASA director for Launch Services Jim Norman said in a separate statement. “While we do perform our own testing, NASA is not able to retest every single component. That is why we require and pay for certain components to be tested and certified by the supplier. When testing results are altered and certifications are provided falsely, missions fail.”

NASA referred its findings to the NASA Office Inspector General and the Department of Justice, who determined that SPI was motivated by a desire to conceal its shoddy workmanship and incentivized staff to help cover their tracks by offering production-based bonuses.

According to a Department of Justice press release on April 23, SPI’s parent company Norsk Hydro ASA has agreed to a deal in which it would pay out $46 million to NASA, the Department of Defense, and other entities to “resolve criminal charges and civil claims relating to a 19-year fraud scheme that included falsifying thousands of certifications for aluminum extrusions provided to hundreds of customers.”

NASA’s statement also said that SPI and Norsk Hydro ASA have both been suspended from government contracting (the former company since 2015), and NASA has proposed both companies receive government-wide disbarment. Quartz speculated that the release of the report may have been motivated by the company’s continued denial it was at fault.

The Orbiting Carbon Observatory never went into service, but a replacement made it to space in 2014 and another successor is scheduled to launch in May. Glory did not receive a replacement.

China in pole position for 5G era with a third of key patents

US and Japan lose market share, as Huawei and ZTE bulk up

TOKYO – Chinese companies account for 34% of worldwide applications for major patents related to 5G technology, putting it in a position to drive the development of new industries that use ultrafast-communication networks.

The latest wireless communication standard can handle huge volumes of data at high speed, and is crucial to the development of technologies such as autonomous driving systems. Whoever controls the most "standard essential patents," or SEPs, for 5G will likely come out on top in the race to develop a new generation of advanced industries.

As of March, China had filed for 34% of SEPs for 5G communication systems, an increase of more than 50% compared with its share of 4G patents, according to IPlytics, a German company that maintains a huge patent database. South Korea had a quarter of key 5G patents, while the share of filings by Japanese and U.S. entities fell compared with the 4G era.

The rise of China marks a clear change from when 3G and 4G were launched. Companies from the U.S. and Europe held the key SEPs at both stages, and Chinese companies had to pay large royalty fees to Western companies.

Royalties for SEPs are often determined through negotiations between patent holders and users. In the case of smartphones, 2% or so of the price of the product is the going rate. Companies with many SEPs sometimes conclude cross-licensing agreements that allow them to use competitors' technology free of charge, depending on the number of technologies and their importance.

Commercial 5G service is expected to begin in the next year or so. Companies looking to build 5G base stations or to make 5G-capable handsets will have to pay royalties to the holders of the essential patents.

Huawei Technology had the largest share of filings for 5G-related SEPs, at 15%. Other top filers in China included ZTE and the China Academy of Telecommunications Technology, which ranked fifth and ninth, respectively.

The Chinese government is promoting 5G as part of "Made in China 2025," its ambitious plan to lead the world in next-generation technologies and industries. Among its goals is the development of highly automated factories that incorporate "internet of things" technology. To turn that vision into reality, 5G is essential.

Huawei and other Chinese companies began increasing their filings for 5G-related patents around 2016. The telecom equipment maker is reportedly spending $10 billion a year on research and development related to 5G base stations, much more than Sweden's Ericsson or Nokia of Finland, its main rivals. ZTE, a domestic competitor, has also increased its market share in base stations and other equipment.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy Hits Back at Pelosi: Nadler Lied, Not Barr

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) on Thursday hit back after Speaker Pelosi accused AG Bill Barr of committing a crime during his Senate testimony.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi set the media ablaze Thursday morning when she accused Barr of committing a crime when he lied to Congress.

Pelosi accused Bill Barr of misrepresenting facts during his Senate testimony regarding the letter Mueller sent him on March 27th.

“What is deadly serious about it is the attorney general of the United States of America was not telling the truth to the Congress of the United States. That’s a crime,” Pelosi said referring to the March 27th letter Robert Mueller sent Barr complaining about the media coverage of the finding of his final report.

“He lied to Congress. He lied to Congress. “That’s a crime,” Pelosi told reporters.

McCarthy hit back during a presser on Thursday and said Nadler is the one who is lying, not Bill Barr.

“I do not believe Attorney General Barr lied,” McCarthy said.

“I think if people are looking at who has lied in the process, simply look at Chairman Nadler — Chairman Nadler asked the attorney general to come [to testify] and he said ‘yes’…” McCarthy said.

McCarthy pointed out that after Barr agreed to testify to the House Judiciary Committee, Nadler changed the format to have staffers question Barr instead of committee members.

Nadler brought down the gavel and staged a hearing on Thursday morning even though Barr’s seat was empty — Nadler is insane and purposely did this for show.

McCarthy added, “Nadler has been wanting to impeach the day after the election…”

DOJ Lays Out Case For Striking Down Entirety Of ObamaCare

The Trump Administration has laid out its arguments against the constitutionality of ObamaCare as it prepares an all-out assault in the courts that could bring a final Supreme Court ruling during the middle of election season next spring.

Filed with the conservative 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals, Assistant Attorney General Joseph Hunt unfurled the administration's new position, which holds that the entirety of the law is unconstitutional. Previously, the administration had argued that some parts of the law could remain in effect, even if the individual mandate is struck down.

"Upon further consideration and review of the district court’s opinion, it is the position of the United States that the balance of the ACA also is inseverable and must be struck down" and that the fine on the uninsured "works part and parcel with the other health-insurance reforms in the ACA," the administration wrote in the briefing.

Israeli Tank Violated Demilitarized Zone In Southern Syria To Hide Traces Of Support For Rebels (Photos)

A Merkava battle tank of the Israeli military crossed the separation line in southern Syrian governroate of al-Quneitra then entered the U.N. controlled demilitarized zone on May 1.

The Russian news agency Sputnik said that units of the U.N. Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF) surrounded the Israeli tank to prevent any further escalation.

“The area to which the Israeli force has advanced within the demilitarized zone is a special area of the UNDOF within the red line,” a source in the U.N. told the Russian agency.

From its side, the SAA established a closed military zone in the area where the violation took place, which is known as Bauabat al-Shuhar. Several army units close to the area were reportedly put on high alert.

The demilitarized zone was established in the southern part of al-Quneitra by the U.N. in 1974 under the Agreement on Disengagement between Israel and Syria. Last year, units of the Russian Military Police joined the UNDOF in the zone following the liberation of the area from terrorist groups.

U.N. sources told Sputnik that the Israeli tank was likely covering engineer units working to close an illegal route, which was opened by the Israeli military and terrorist groups in the early years of the conflict. According to the sources, the route was used to ship weapons and supplies to terrorist groups in Syria and to transport injured militants to Israeli hospitals.

While these claims have not been confirmed yet, Israel had indeed armed and supported armed groups in the southern part of Syria for years, according to several previous reports.

Police responded to the school after a school administrator called police Thursday to say that he was informed by multiple students that they overheard three students May 1st discussing building the bomb.

The 16-year-olds were arrested and charged with fourth-degree conspiracy. Their homes were searched and “The Anarchist Cookbook,” which contains bomb-making instructions, was found.

Trump administration to give Border Patrol agents authority to decide asylum claims on the spot: Sources

The Department of Homeland Security is racing to implement a plan that would give federal law enforcement on the border the authority to conduct interviews with asylum seekers who fear returning to their home countries, according to two sources with first-hand knowledge of the plan.

Under the pending procedural change, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services officers would train Border Patrol agents on the southern border how to conduct "credible fear interviews," which immigrants must pass to go on to claim asylum. Agents would conduct the interviews shortly after apprehending people who have illegally crossed from Mexico to the U.S.

The Trump administration is pushing to start agent training “ASAP,” according to one official.

The proposal has some downsides. For instance, there likely would be fewer Border Patrol agents performing law enforcement duties while undergoing training. But that would be offset by an overall decline of undocumented immigrants seeking refuge in the U.S.

“If that gets rolled out and we actually start deporting people within a timely manner, you’re going to see the numbers drop exponentially,” the official said.

Homeland Security, under acting Secretary Kevin McAleenan, would essentially deputize law enforcement to carry out citizenship officers’ jobs in order to initially reduce the number of people who have passed that stage and are waiting on asylum decisions. Those calls usually take two to five years due to the current 900,000 cases waiting to be decided by fewer than 500 immigration judges nationwide.

DHS is not planning to get congressional approval before implementing the change. Department officials believe they are within the law because an asylum officer must be an immigration official, which Border Patrol agents are considered to be. As long as agents get training on how to carry out those interviews and make those decisions, the department believes the plan is sound, a second official, who spoke on background in order to speak freely, explained.

Currently, immigrant families who surrender to Border Patrol agents are taken to a station and interviewed there about their background. Those in custody are not to be held longer than 72 hours. While in Border Patrol custody, an immigrant can claim a “credible fear” of returning to his or her home country during the general interview with an agent.

The agent would then notify U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services of the claim and a representative would hear and decide a person’s claim, likely after the person in custody has been transferred from Border Patrol to Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody. Families who have been found by a USCIS officer to have a credible fear of return cannot be held by ICE more than 20 days and will be released into the U.S. and told to show up for their asylum verdict years down the road.

The second official said immigrants whose credible fear claims are denied would then have the ability to appeal the decision but, would only have 10 days to have his or her case heard.

“Theoretically, we could end up deporting them in two weeks, rather than two to five years,” the source said. The move is likely to be challenged in the courts.

Although first-time illegal entry is a misdemeanor, charges will not be pursued against a person if he or she broke the law to enter because he or she was seeking refuge.

In Israel, 53 mosques and churches vandalized since 2009, only 9 indictments filed

The number of mosques and churches attacked in Israel is high, but police effort at investigating these crimes are absurdly low. The head of monitoring group asserts, ‘Without a doubt, they aren’t looking hard enough’

Over 50 Christian and Muslim sites have been vandalized in Israel and the West Bank since 2009, but only nine indictments have been filed and only seven convictions handed down, according to Public Security Ministry data. Moreover, only eight of the 53 cases are still under investigation, with the other 45 all closed.

The ministry data only goes through July 2017, but the vandalism hasn’t ended.

The latest attack occurred last Wednesday, at St. Stephen’s Church in the Beit Jamal Monastery, near Beit Shemesh. Many items were broken, including some of the stained glass windows and a status of the Virgin Mary. Police are investigating, but so far no suspects have been arrested and the motive is said to be unknown.

This was the third such attack on the monastery in the last five years. In 2013, a firebomb was thrown at a door and hateful slogans were scrawled on the walls. And about 18 months ago, gravestones were vandalized in the cemetery. No suspects were arrested in those cases, either.

The wave of vandalism peaked in 2013, the data show. That year, 11 investigations were opened and five people were convicted. Also that year, the police opened a special hate crimes unit in their Judea and Samaria District. But judging by the data, the unit’s deterrent effect has been minimal.

Notable: Cisco backdoor discovered.

Sinister secret backdoor found in networking gear perfect for government espionage: The Chinese are – oh no, wait, it's Cisco again

Better ban this gear from non-US core networks, right?

Right on cue, Cisco on Wednesday patched a security vulnerability in some of its network switches that can be exploited by miscreants to commandeer the IT equipment and spy on people.

This comes immediately after panic this week over a hidden Telnet-based diagnostic interface was found in Huawei gateways. Although that vulnerability was real, irritating, and eventually removed at Vodafone's insistence, it was dubbed by some a hidden backdoor perfect for Chinese spies to exploit to snoop on Western targets.

Which, of course, comes as America continues to pressure the UK and other nations to outlaw the use of Huawei gear from 5G networks over fears Beijing would use backdoors baked into the hardware to snatch Uncle Sam's intelligence.

Well, if a non-internet-facing undocumented diagnostic Telnet daemon is reason enough to kick Huawei kit out of Western networks, surely this doozy from Cisco is enough to hoof American equipment out of British, European and other non-US infrastructure? Fair's fair, no?

US tech giant Cisco has issued a free fix for software running on its Nexus 9000 series machines that can be exploited to log in as root and hijack the device for further mischief and eavesdropping. A miscreant just needs to be able to reach the vulnerable box via IPv6. It's due to a default SSH key pair hardcoded into the software, as Cisco explained:

A vulnerability in the SSH key management for the Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) Mode Switch Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to connect to the affected system with the privileges of the root user.

The vulnerability is due to the presence of a default SSH key pair that is present in all devices. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by opening an SSH connection via IPv6 to a targeted device using the extracted key materials. An exploit could allow the attacker to access the system with the privileges of the root user.

The blunder, labeled CVE-2019-1804, was discovered and reported by Oliver Matula of ERNW Enno Rey Netzwerke in cooperation with ERNW Research.

I won't surrender to extradition ‘for doing journalism’ – Assange

WikiLeaks co-founder Julian Assange, jailed by the UK authorities for 50 weeks over skipping bail, is adamant to fight the US extradition request, as Washington wants him for merely “doing journalism.”

Assange faced a London court via a video link on Thursday for the first hearing over the US extradition request. When asked if he desires to consent to it, he rejected it and expressed determination to fight the extradition.

I do not wish to surrender myself for extradition for doing journalism that has won many, many awards and protected many people.

The US wants Assange on charges of conspiring to commit computer intrusion, related to his work with whistleblower Chelsea Manning, who leaked scores of classified documents related to the Iraq War. The offense carries a maximum penalty of five years behind bars, but Assange's legal team fears more charges will follow.

Supporters of the WikiLeaks co-founder speculate that he might even face charges under the Espionage Act of 1917, a harsh legislation protecting “national interests,” that envisions lengthy prison terms and ultimately the death penalty to those found guilty.

The hearings on the extradition request have been adjourned, with a technical one scheduled for May 30 and the first substantive one expected on June 12.

White House Slammed Mueller Report In Letter To Attorney General Barr

The White House slammed special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia in a newly-released letter to Attorney General Bill Barr.

The letter, which is dated April 19, one day after the special counsel’s redacted report was released publicly, expresses deep concerns about Mueller’s failure to reach a conclusion on obstruction of justice and his assertion that the report does not exonerate President Donald Trump.

The Mueller report claimed, “The evidence we obtained about the President’s actions and intent presents difficult issues that prevent us from conclusively determining that no criminal conduct occurred. Accordingly, while this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him.”

As Emmet Flood, the president’s special counsel, explains, Mueller is not in a position to “conclusively [determine] that no criminal conduct occurred” because he is operating as a prosecutor.

“Making conclusive determinations of innocence is never the task of the federal prosecutor,” Flood wrote to Barr. “What prosecutors are supposed to do is complete an investigation and then either ask the grand jury to return an indictment or decline to charge the case.”

Flood continued, “In the American justice system, innocence is presumed; there is never any need for prosecutors to ‘conclusively determine’ it. Nor is there any place for such a determination.”

Flood went on to slam Mueller for declining to reach a conclusion on obstruction of justice, arguing that failing to do so violates the investigation’s obligation to make a prosecutorial decision.

“The one thing the SCO (Special Counsel’s Office) was obligated to do is the very thing the SCO — intentionally and unapologetically — refused to do. The SCO made neither a prosecution decision nor a declination decision on the obstruction question,” he said.

Mainstream Media Now Calling for the Arrest of “Antivaxxers”

The Washington Post published an article this week that called for rounding up "antivaxxers" and throwing them in jail for refraining from vaccines.

Since the beginning of the year, the Free Thought Project has been reporting on the hysteria associated with the measles outbreak and the subsequent loss of liberties and police state crackdown that’s ensued. We’ve seen children banned from public spaces, mandatory vaccinations, and a pro-vaccine push in the mainstream media like we’ve never seen before. Now, the pro-mandatory vaccine push has reached a new level, as the Washington Post published an article calling for the arrest of those who choose not to vaccinate.

As TFTP reported at the end of March, in one of the most shocking moves to date over the 2019 measles outbreak, Rockland County officials declared a state of emergency and effectively banned any child under the age of 18, who had not received the MMR vaccine, from all public spaces. Then, last month, officials took it one step further and ordered mandatory vaccinations for multiple New York zip codes. Those who try to resist getting the shots are being fined.

While this may sound like an insane police state forcing people to undergo medical procedures against their will to many people, to others, it is utopia.

In the Washington Post this week, Juliette Kayyem took to the platform to advocate for fining and arresting people who choose not to vaccinate.

“With more than 700 reported (measles) cases confirmed in 22 states, it is now a public safety crisis, and the tools of public safety — arrests, fines, isolation — are absolutely necessary,” this would-be tyrant wrote.

Kayyem referred to those who choose not to vaccinate as “pro-plague” and “free riders” who “are putting my children and our communities at risk.”

WikiLeaks’ Julian Assange won’t be given ‘special treatment,’ Australian prime minister says

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who was arrested in London Thursday, will not be given any “special treatment,” Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison told Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC).

Speaking to the national broadcaster on Friday, Morrison said Assange, an Australian citizen, “will get the same treatment as everybody else.”

Assange, who’s accused of one of the largest leaks of classified information in the U.S., was arrested and removed from the Ecuadorian embassy in London on Thursday, where he had been living for nearly seven years after seeking asylum there.

He now faces potential extradition to the U.S., which has put in a request for him. The Justice Department announced a criminal charge against Assange, accusing him of conspiring with former American army intelligence analyst, Chelsea Manning, to hack into a classified U.S. government computer.

“When Australians travel overseas and they find themselves in difficulties with the law, well, they face the judicial systems of those countries, it doesn’t matter what particular crime it is they’ve alleged to have committed. That’s the way the system works,” Morrison told ABC.

“Mr Assange will get the same support that any other Australian would … he’s not going to be given any special treatment,” he said.

WikiLeaks, set up in 2006, became renowned for publishing secret information and news leaks that have caused embarrassment for governments and public officials around the world.

Assange’s attorney confirmed Thursday that the 47-year-old was arrested on a U.S. extradition request as well as for breaching U.K. bail conditions, The Associated Press reported.

His attorney, Jennifer Robinson, said that the Australian government should do more to support Assange, according to a report by Australian broadcaster SBS News.

“It is time for the Australian government to step up and do what it should have done in 2010 when we asked them to do the first time, which is to reach out to the United States, our ally and ask this prosecution be closed,” she said, according to SBS.

“This is a matter of free speech. It is an Australian citizen who faces years, potentially decades or life in prison for having published material that the Walkley Awards gave him the most outstanding contribution to Australian journalism for,” said Robinson.

Assange sought asylum at the Ecuadorian embassy in London in 2012 to avoid extradition to Sweden over sexual assault and rape.

He consistently denied the allegations and surrendered to British police the following month and was released on bail. However, he then evaded police and fled, leading to a second warrant that was the basis for his arrest Thursday.

Notable: Elite Utah prosecutor recalled from his role as a War Crime prosecutor for the EU.

Baker-

I popped this in the bread last night and it didn't gain any traction. Seems relevant given Huber met with him yesterday and he has a past in WAR CRIMES.

Utah native David Schwendiman is leaving his job as chief war crimes prosecutor in The Hague two years before his four-year term expires because of a U.S. law that limits his tenure.

It marks the second time that Schwendiman, highly regarded as a respected and professional prosecutor, has either had to leave a critical job early or been passed over under unusual circumstances.

The first time came in 2010, when Schwendiman, a longtime prosecutor and administrator in both the Utah attorney general’s office and the U.S. attorney’s office, was yanked from consideration for the U.S. attorney for Utah post after widespread speculation he was a lock for the job.

He enjoyed strong bipartisan support from Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch and then-Democratic Rep. Jim Matheson. When his name was dropped from the list, many of his supporters were surprised.

The reasons were never disclosed, but speculation surfaced that Matheson had angered the Obama White House by casting several votes against administration-backed bills, including the health care overhaul, so the Utah Democrat’s choice for U.S. attorney was pulled as retaliation.

This time, Schwendiman’s fate is tied to a U.S. law that governs his role as a special prosecutor under the authority of the European Union.

He had been a war crimes prosecutor before — after years as a federal prosecutor in the United States — and had retired from the Justice Department.

Schwendiman resumed federal employment in 2015 with the State Department to accept the chief prosecutor position to investigate and hold accountable those who committed war crimes in Kosovo during the 1990s conflict with Serbia.

Under laws spelled out for returning retirees, he could maintain that status for only three years, but his appointment as chief war crimes prosecutor in 2016 was to a four-year term. He told The Guardian in a Feb. 28 story that the Obama administration had assured him his service would be extended so he could complete his term in The Hague.

With the change in administration, however, no such extension has been issued.

The Guardian story said that with Schwendiman’s planned March 31 departure, there seems to be a vacuum in the Kosovo court with no successor ready to take over.

In an official statement, however, Schwendiman expressed confidence that the mission will continue efficiently, and he cast no blame on the Trump administration for the reasons he is leaving.

“I have just been informed by the U.S. Department of State that my three-year term as Senior Foreign Service officer will end on 31 March, 2018,” his statement said. “As a result, my [position] as the specialist prosecutor cannot be extended. This must happen because the U.S. administration is unable to overlook my status as a retiree called back into service — something the law won’t let me change regardless how much I might want to stay.”

He praised the European Union for the speed in which it has begun its search for a new prosecutor and said the strong staff is prepared to carry on under an interim chief until that appointment is made.

”I am not resigning,” he said. “In truth, I would be delighted if U.S. law permitted me to stay. But it won’t and I must, as a consequence, and very reluctantly, leave a position that I am both proud and honored to hold.”

So the University of Utah graduate now has had to oblige decisions affecting his career on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean — neither having anything to do with his qualifications or his performance.

WHAT HAPPENED ON THE TARMAC?

What happened when Bill Clinton met then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch on the west side of Phoenix Sky Harbor airport between 7 and 8 PM on June 27, 2016? Just days before Hillary Rodham Clinton was to be interviewed by the FBI about her mishandling of classified emails, the former president intercepted the AG on her plane. Was it just a “casual” and “unscheduled” encounter, as the head spokesperson for the Department of Justice maintained? Or was the former president stalking Lynch to urge her to go easy on his wife?

We have a new window on what may have gone on inside Lynch’s FBI jet after it landed — the story as told by the former attorney general to lawmakers and staff of the House Judiciary Committee and the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. Her account could easily be seen as self-serving, but it was given under penalty of perjury.

Lynch was questioned behind closed doors on Dec. 19, 2018 in the Rayburn House Office Building, Room 2131. The interview has remained private; no transcript of it has been released. But RealClearInvestigations has obtained a copy. In it, Lynch describes an encounter with Bill Clinton that is both perplexing and preposterous, a story that defies innocent explanation.

Bill Barr gets smeared for refusing to duck and cover like Loretta Lynch.

Washington pile-ons are never pretty, but this week’s political setup of Attorney General William Barr is disreputable even by Beltway standards. Democrats and the media are turning the AG into a villain for doing his duty and making the hard decisions that special counsel Robert Mueller abdicated.

Washington pile-ons are never pretty, but this week’s political setup of Attorney General William Barr is disreputable even by Beltway standards. Democrats and the media are turning the AG into a villain for doing his duty and making the hard decisions that special counsel Robert Mueller abdicated.

Mr. Barr’s Wednesday testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee was preceded late Tuesday by the leak of a letter Mr. Mueller had sent the AG on March 27. Mr. Mueller griped in the letter that Mr. Barr’s four-page explanation to Congress of the principal conclusions of the Mueller report on March 24 “did not fully capture the context, nature, and substance” of the Mueller team’s “work and conclusions.” Only in Washington could this exercise in posterior covering be puffed into a mini-outrage.

Democrats leapt on the letter as proof that Mr. Barr was somehow covering for Donald Trump when he has covered up nothing. Hawaii Sen. Mazie Hirono, the Democratic answer to Rep. Louie Gohmert, accused Mr. Barr of abusing his office and lying to Congress, and demanded that he resign. The only thing she lacked was evidence.

Mr. Barr’s four-page letter couldn’t possibly have covered all the nuances of a 448-page report. It was an attempt to provide Mr. Mueller’s conclusions to Congress and the public as quickly as possible, while he took the time to work through the entire document to make redactions required by law and Justice Department rules.

This is exactly what he promised to do in his confirmation hearing. Even Mr. Mueller’s complaining letter admits that Mr. Barr’s letter wasn’t inaccurate, a fact Mr. Barr says Mr. Mueller also conceded in a subsequent phone call. The Mueller complaint, rather, was that there was “public confusion about critical aspects” of his investigation. Translation: Republicans were claiming vindication for Donald Trump, and Mr. Mueller was taking hits in the press for not nailing the worst President in history. Having been hailed for months as a combination of Eliot Ness and St. Thomas More, Mr. Mueller and his team of prosecutors seem to have been unnerved by some bad press clips.

Mr. Barr told the Senate Wednesday that he offered Mr. Mueller the chance to review his four-page letter before sending it to Congress, but the special counsel declined. Mr. Mueller worked for Mr. Barr, and that was the proper time to offer suggestions or disagree. Instead, Mr. Mueller ducked that responsibility and then griped in an ex-post-facto letter that was conveniently leaked on the eve of Mr. Barr’s testimony. Quite the stand-up guy.

Mr. Barr has since released the full Mueller report with minor redactions, as he promised, and with the “context” intact. Keep in mind Mr. Barr was under no legal obligation to release anything at all. Mr. Mueller reports only to Mr. Barr, not to the country or Congress.

Mr. Barr has also made nearly all of the redactions in the report available to senior Members of Congress to inspect at Justice. Yet as of this writing, only three Members have bothered—Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and ranking House Republican on Judiciary Doug Collins. Not one Democrat howling about Mr. Barr’s lack of transparency has examined the outrages they claim are hidden.

Democrats are also upset that Mr. Barr concluded that Mr. Trump did not obstruct justice regarding the Russia probe. But in that decision too Mr. Barr was behaving as an Attorney General should. Mr. Mueller compiled a factual record but shrank from a “prosecutorial judgment.” Mr. Barr then stepped up and made the call, however unpopular with Democrats and the press.

Trump Judicial Train Rolls on With Texas, Alabama Picks

https://news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/trump-judicial-train-rolls-on-with-texas-alabama-picks

Texas Deputy Solicitor General J. Campbell Barker, Alabama Solicitor General Andrew Brasher confirmed

California Democrat and 2002 presidential candidate Kamala Harris calls nominees “extreme”

J. Campbell Barker, who challenged Obama-era immigration and health policies for the state of Texas, was one of two Donald Trump nominees confirmed to the federal bench on Wednesday.

The Senate cleared the state deputy solicitor general for a seat on the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas by a vote of 51 to 47. It then confirmed Alabama Solicitor General Andrew Brasher for the Middle District of Alabama, 52 to 47.

They were the first in a string of district court nominees scheduled for votes this week with the Republican-led Senate ramping up judicial confirmations after returning from its spring recess.

Trump could surpass the century mark for judicial confirmations, if all nominees on the docket this week are confirmed, as expected. This total includes his two Supreme Court appointments.

Sen. Kamala Harris of California, a member of the Judiciary Committee and a 2020 presidential candidate who has clashed with the White House over judicial nominations, took aim at both Barker and Brasher on Twitter.

They are “two extreme judicial nominees who have opposed women’s reproductive rights, as well as LGBTQ” and immigrant rights, she said.

Three nominees are scheduled for confirmation votes on Thursday.

Rodolfo Ruiz, nominated to the Southern District of Florida;

Raul Arias-Marxuach, nominated to the District of Puerto Rico;

and Joshua Wolson, nominated to the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.

Voter ID, Gerrymandering

Barker has been a deputy solicitor general since 2015, and helped Texas obtain a nationwide injunction against the Obama administration’s immigration policy known as Deferred Action for Parents of Americans.

He also defended Texas’s law requiring photo identification for voters and supported a challenge to the Affordable Care Act.

Brasher has argued three times at the Supreme Court, including a defense of Alabama in a lawsuit alleging racial gerrymandering.

The American Bar Association gave Barker its highest rating of “Well Qualified” and rated Brasher as “Qualified.”

Trump has appointed 59 district judges, 37 appeals court judges and two U.S. Supreme Court justices to date.

Barker clerked for federal judges in two circuits, who were appointed by presidents from different political parties.

He clerked for Second Circuit Judge John M. Walker Jr. while he was the chief of the court. Walker was appointed by Republican President George H.W. Bush.

Barker also clerked for William C. Bryson of the Federal Circuit. Bryson was appointed by Democratic President Bill Clinton.

Brasher clerked for Eleventh Circuit Judge William H. Pryor Jr., who was appointed by Republican President George W. Bush.

U.S. first-quarter productivity strongest since 2014, labor costs subdued

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. worker productivity increased at its fastest pace in more than four years in the first quarter, depressing labor costs and suggesting inflation could remain benign for a while.

The report from the Labor Department on Thursday came on the heels of data this week showing moderate wage growth in the first quarter and a key inflation measure posting its smallest annual gain in 14 months in March.

The Federal Reserve on Wednesday held interest rates steady and signaled little desire to adjust monetary policy anytime soon. Fed Chairman Jerome Powell told reporters the moderation in price pressures was likely due to transient factors, and predicted inflation would rise back to the U.S. central bank’s 2 percent target.

“The pickup in productivity has provided businesses an outlet from rising compensation costs as the labor market has tightened,” said Sarah House, a senior economist at Wells Fargo Securities in Charlotte, North Carolina. “The overall trend in labor costs remains comfortably under 2 percent and suggests rising labor costs are not about to drive inflation up above the Fed’s target.”

Nonfarm productivity, which measures hourly output per worker, increased at a 3.6 percent annualized rate in the last quarter. That was the strongest pace since the third quarter of 2014. Data for the fourth quarter was revised down to show productivity rising at a pace of 1.3 percent instead of the previously reported 1.9 percent rate.

Economists polled by Reuters had forecast first-quarter productivity would advance at a 2.2 percent rate. The acceleration in productivity was flagged by a surge in gross domestic product growth in the January-March period. The economy grew at a 3.2 percent rate in the first three months of the year after expanding at a 2.2 percent pace in the fourth quarter.

U.S. stocks were trading higher while prices of U.S. Treasuries were mostly lower. The dollar rose slightly against a basket of currencies. The trend in productivity is improving. Compared to the first quarter of 2018, productivity increased at a rate of 2.4 percent, the best performance since the third quarter of 2010.

The strong pace of productivity suppressed growth in labor costs, a potential boost to corporate profits.

Unit labor costs, the price of labor per single unit of output, fell at a 0.9 percent rate in the first quarter after increasing at a 2.5 percent rate in the prior quarter. Compared to the first quarter of 2018, labor costs grew at a 0.1 percent rate, the weakest pace since the fourth quarter of 2013.

Hourly compensation increased at a 2.6 percent rate, slowing from the fourth quarter’s brisk 3.9 percent pace. Hourly compensation increased at a 2.5 percent rate compared to the first quarter of 2018.

FIREWORKS Erupt On House Judiciary Committee Two Days In A Row

WASHINGTON – Although Attorney General Bill Barr decided not to appear before the House Judiciary Committee Thursday, it did not stop fireworks from erupting two days in a row when members debated about the hearing format, procedure, as well as the treatment of Republican members.

Chairman Jerry Nadler appeared to lose control of his own committee on Wednesday when Republican members called him out for not recognizing Republican members at various times during the hearing.

Wisconsin Republican Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner, a former chairman of the committee repeatedly called to be recognized while Texas Republican Rep. Louie Gohmert called the hearing a “kangaroo court” and said he was not surprised that Barr did not want to appear before the committee the following day.

The debate spilled over into Thursday’s hearing when members of the committee faced an empty witness chair intended for AG Barr. Ranking member Doug Collins excoriated Committee Democrats for disrespecting minority member rights on the committee the previous night while attempting to create an impeachment like atmosphere.

en. Kirsten Gillibrand (D., N.Y.) has released a proposal she says will clean up American elections by allocating "Democracy Dollars" for voters to give to their desired candidates.

Under Gillibrand's proposal, those who wanted to participate could request up to $600 from the FEC and spend up to $200 each on House, Senate, and presidential races. They would only be allowed to donate to House and Senate races in their own state, although they could give to a House race outside their home district.

Notable: anon opines on state of China's 'hold' on its population

Good morning anon….. I think I just figure out what the good guy have in store for…… China!

For those not aware of the situation in China here is a quick run down:

The CCP grasp on the Chinese people is slipping!

The CCP as Problems…… The veteran of the PLA are protesting and getting beat up by the police, and Political apparatchik attack them with impunity. They get arrested and send to prison for a Very long time. An oppressive communist regime like the CCP depend on it's military to enforce it's rule. Imagine the day where the Military will be called to "Police" military veteran?!? Will the younger one beat up the old?

>China’s 57 million ex-military personnel have been fighting for years for a better deal in retirement.

Now let take a look at Hong Kong

>Tens of thousands of people took to the streets in Hong Kong on Sunday to protest planned changes to the city's extradition law. Many believe new rules facilitating the sending of suspects to China would effectively allow Beijing to grab people at will and thereby completely control the city. "You will be screwed," said a marcher, a law clerk, to Reuters.

>The turnout was high — organizers said 130,000 people took part — in part because the demonstration followed the sentencing of democracy activists for their role in the massive "Occupy Central" protests in 2014. On Wednesday, a lower court handed out prison terms of between eight to 16 months to four of the "Umbrella Nine." Three others received suspended sentences. One person was given 200 hours of community service.

>The eight individuals — the sentencing of a ninth person was postponed for medical reasons — were convicted of public nuisance offenses in a closely watched proceeding on April 9. The prosecution of the 9 figures was seen, both in Hong Kong and elsewhere, as a sign of Beijing tightening its control over the city.

The more the CCP try to oppress the people in Hog Kong the more they resist. The CCP will have no other choice than to turn to Full time oppression if they want to remain in control. And in the meantime Taiwan is embolden in it's defiance.

=Economy build on Fraud and debt!==

>The immense size of Kangmei’s restatement, described by one securities lawyer as unprecedented for China, puts a spotlight on disclosure practices in a country where companies are defaulting at a record pace and several instances of questionable accounting have emerged in recent months. The issue has become increasingly important for global investors and securities firms as they gain unprecedented access to China’s gargantuan stock and bond markets.

>"Investors have to be more careful about Chinese firms’ reporting," said Andrew Lam, a director at BDO, an international accounting firm. "They will have to do real homework, examining closely companies' financial reporting for any potential irregularities."

>The China Securities Regulatory Commission, which in recent years has been pushing the nation’s stock exchanges to delist companies that provide inaccurate disclosures, didn’t immediately reply to a faxed request for comment. The Shanghai Composite Index rose 0.5 percent at 1:36 p.m. local time.

That is a 44 Billions $$$ Fraud…. And many more are on the way……..

The China is on it's way to regime change!

Ohr Repeatedly Thanked Steele for ‘Updates’ and Assures Steele he will ‘Pass this [Information] along to my Colleagues’

(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today it received 339 pages of heavily redacted records from the U.S. Department of Justice which reveal that former Associate Deputy Attorney General Bruce Ohr remained in regular contact with former British spy and Fusion GPS contractor Christopher Steele after Steele was terminated by the FBI in November 2016 for revealing to the media his position as an FBI confidential informant.

The records show that Ohr served as a go-between for Steele by passing along information to “his colleagues” on matters relating to Steele’s activities. Ohr also set up meetings with Steele, regularly talked to him on the telephone and provided him assistance in dealing with situations Steele was confronting with the media.

Judicial Watch obtained the records through a March 2018 Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed after the Justice Department failed to respond a December 2017 request Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Justice (No. 1:18-cv-00490)). The lawsuit seeks:

All records of contact or communication, including but not limited to emails, text messages, and instant chats between Bruce Ohr and any of the following individuals/entities: former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele; owner of Fusion GPS Glenn Simpson; and any other employees or representatives of Fusion GPS.

All travel requests, authorizations and expense reports for Bruce Ohr.
